Embarrassing Moment of the Century... Part 2
As one can surmise from the few rather animated tags on my tagboard by my beloved friends, who have been laughing their heads off about my recent mishap in school, especially dear Pris, who guffawed so hard I fear for the safety of her blood vessels =X
You must be wondering what sparked off such hilarity? Well, let's just say that the title of today's entry explains it all.
Two days ago, on Thursday, I had a rather long day in school. I had my first lecture at 10am and it lasted for 2 hours. The night before I slept at about 2am in the morning and I could barely crawl out of bed when my alarm clock rang. Then from 12-2pm I went for Campus Crusade's Discipleship Group, before going for lunch with one of my lab partner, Chin Poh, from 2-3pm. Starting from 3pm, Poh and I got to work on our lab report, which was due the following day, before 12pm. Our other lab partner, Matthew, would be joining us later at 4pm, after his class.
I don't know why, but I was really exhausted that day. I nearly fell asleep while trying to think about pH and buffers and what not. I struggled to make sense of the questions on our lab report. Matthew joined us with his laptop at 4pm and we proceeded to type out our answers.
It's rather unthinkable that a lab report would take so long, but we spent nearly 4 hours on it. Upon completion of the report, we trooped over to the Medical/Science Library to print it out. I reached into my bag to retrieve my cardholder so that we could pay for our printout with my cashcard. To my utmost horror, I discovered that the yoghurt drink I'd been drinking earlier on that day had spilled onto my cardholder in my bag. I was so tired and I just wanted to get the lab report over and done with and now my cardholder is covered in sticky strawberry yoghurt drink. Excusing myself, I stumbled to the nearest toilet, went straight to the sink and proceeded to wash, scrub and clean the sticky entirely-too-sweet-smelling yoghurt off my cardholder.
It was then when I looked up into the mirror and suddenly noticed a girl staring strangely at me from the toilet opposite mine. I paused. Something was wrong. Why is there a GIRL in the OPPOSITE toilet?! You mean...?!
I whipped around to stare at the sign on the door of the toilet I had unthinkingly stepped into. And staring back at me was the international sign for a MALE toilet.
To say that I nearly DIED of mortification would be an understatement. I couldn't believe it. I had stepped into the toilet of the opposite gender and I didn't even realise it until a girl stared at me through the mirror. I was SO fixated on cleaning my cardholder that all I saw were my cardholder, the sink and the tap. I didn't even realised that anything was WRONG with the toilet. I didn't see the urinals, I didn't see anything else. And thank God there were no guys in the toilet at that point of time! A hole opening up in the ground to swallow me up then would be just about right. I flew out of the toilet burning red with embarrassment.
Talk about insanity.
